The animal frequently suffers from internal gases, which swell it out to n great size. Tho only way is to puncture it and allow the gas to es cape. This is done by a peculiar in strument incased in n sheath. It is plunged, slieath and knife, into the animal's side. Tho knife is iiieii drawn out. It is so arr.m'^od t'i it tit 1 point of the knife is uncovered and when it is removed passage is left, for the gas to escape. As the gas leaves the horse's body a matcty is appl.ed and for ten minutes—sometimes as long as (ifteen and twenty minutes— the ilatne burns. Perhaps the most dangerous of all the domestic animals- when it is sick is the dog. The gentlest will be the most likely and the quickest to bite, and a veterinary surgeon would think of performing no operation in which an anaesthetic is not used without first muzzling the patient. In endurance the cow is perhaps the best subject and can stand more than any of the other domestic animals. The others display more or less ability to stand the knife, but in them all there is more or less danger. WIiil\ surgery is by far the most im portant element 111 veterinary work it j by no menus is the only one. 51edi- ; cine is extensively practiced and in that as well as in surcrerv the lines o' the medical practitioner are followed I Improve'iie'its are constantly bein^ made in »1' directions.

Th\ see u_\: in a vetarinary h JS- pital are often very curious. It frequently happens that a horse so fractures his leg that it is impos sible to repair it. There is no coarse open but ii 'iijiiilation. That plan is adopted, and 11 wooden leg takes the place of thai of flesh and bone. Sivii nit operation costs a great deal, and is only made when the value o f the 11.11- inul warrants it. A hor.se which may have cost his owner thousands of dol lars may be qimc as valuable with three legs as with four, if a fourth limb of wood may be secured. The joint 111 the leg forms no serious ob stacle and can bo provided for in the nrttlicial limb. Tho animal may be a little the worse for wear, but with his woo'ie n log will still bo in tho field. Tho same operation lies been per formed on valunblo cows. A monkey on crutches, however, is still an ielcal for the veterinary artists. Dentistry is now, so rapid has been the march of progress in veterinary work, a Bjiecinl Held t o which 111011 ex clusively elevoto their energies. Spe cialization on many lines has already begun, and no evidouee could be more conclusive that the field is already n broad one. The time is not distant when each of tho more important ani mals will bo the subject of special study and treatment. Ono of tho most extraordinary op erations performed by a veterinary surgeon is the removal of a horse 's eye and tho placing of an artificial one in its plact?. One hardly expects to hear of such an operation in connec tion with an animal, but it has been done in this city, and very success fully. During that operation no other than a local nnrcsthotie was applied. A\> hen a search for an artificial eye was made it was discovered that none was to be had iu this country, and the necessary optic had to bo bought iu Sweden. It is a common thing for a veterin ary surgeon t o remove a cataract from en animal 's eye. This affliction, which effectually blinds tho animal, is common, littlo protection being afforded tho eyes. Isot long ago horses so afflicted had to remain blind, but now tho removal of 11 cataract from a horse 's eye is no more difficult and quite as frequent as from tho eye of ft human being. roi as t; ill ' .11 1 A 1 'S i ik l I I I .1 11.11, fl l .V )i irnili\ s so 1 - colic, l\l ' 1 to 1, to 1, : 1 • \hibit.-I ' Wli it ('il ll'lll'i l ' - s •„] I n the hlMl .lll I •ie!; . .\ 11 in .' lit ir 1 11 Floi'i'ia cool 1' a lii'nb whin it < p. nsou ' oil' Most of the M , rhariui r< on the st i-/e ere f .r us po soiling air. on • It -hoiilil bi a 1 1:111 ', 1 1* i.itii th.: iau,s in lie ...1 , ar e *ne seer , ts o f sn- :i •'' Oil , well , they ar e simpl e li r t In n mos t people iiiiugin >. t.r-t place , Lie snak e t o be 1 is go\_re.l wit h food s o tha t it AGRICULTURAL, TOPICS OF IXTHRKST RKIJATIVE TO FAR3I AND GARDKX, is • 1. 1 p\ an 1 drowsv.

Almost everything in tho vegetable kingdom, with large additions from the animal and mineral, will furnish the raw material for tho making of paper. The only question is whether it can bo roduceel at allowable expense. Horns, hoofs, hides and bones, lime, alum, rosin, soda and soap, divers things from divers places, go into paper The mining of clay for paper- makers' use is a very consielerablo in dustry of itself The clay adds to tho body and finish of the paper, and likewise to theprolit. Paper has boon made of wood, hay and stubble, of mummies' and hornets' nests. Tho list of paper-making matorials includes about 400 items. It would be easier to catalogue tho materials of which paper cannot be made. Almost any thing can bo usoel except nails, needles !-and pearl buttons, feathers, pigiron and syntax, the only question being the cost of reducing the stuff to pulp. In tho ages B. C. tho \reeds\ lorded it over the paper-maker, and even for 800 of the years of our Lord tho papyrus roll held its own. Then for ten centuries tho lowly and despised rag was king. But kings aro a little passee, and now wood is \boss or at least divides the empire. The supply of \paper reeds\ is exhausted, tho supply of rags will not begin to equal the demand; a substitute must be found, and for it we go t o the forests. Wood pulp has achieved a mighty revolution in the art of paper-making, anil tho revolution is not ended. The wasp has used wood paper fpr im memorial ages, but man has been slow to uso it as a fiber. Tho invention was finally suggested by observing a wasp 's nest mado of wood transformed into paper. In the Bearch for a sub stitute for rags, wood has been ex perimented with i n many places and for many years, but to Frederick Gottlob Keller, of Saxony, is due the credit of the invention about 1845.—;' St. Louis Globe-Democrat. cannot reach them until they have perfected and scattered their seed.— Boston Cultivator.

TRYING YOUNG COJjTS. Tho young colt while yet snoking can bo i aught much which will bo valuable ' to it when old \enough to work. Break it to lead when quito young; fit a halter to its head and tie up in the stall with the mother for half an hour. When accustomed to tho halter, tie beside tho mother when sho is to bo driven some distance ; tho colt will usually go along quietly nt once. If it is a little restless at first, a moil- orato amount of patience will enable you<to teach it to load quietly Repeat this operation every day or oven every week and the colt will soon lend as well as an old horse. When eighteen mouths old it can be harnessed and al lowed to stand m tho stable with the harness on until accustomed to it. On account of previous treatment this will cnuse no fright, and it can be hitched t o a light wagon beside tt well- broken animal, and in nine cases out of ten will walk oil without causing any trouble. By this method of \breaking\ a re liable, trustworthy horse is developed. The ordinary practice of allowing colts to run without haltering or taming of any kind until they are three years old, is too common and is the cause of so many vicious, balky, runaway animals. It also pays t o get them ac customed to being placed in unusual positions, such us with a line under the tail, a leg over the tug, singletrees hit ting their heels, etc., so when harness breaks or the team hecomes entangled they will not be unnecessarily frightened. Also gradually open um brellas near them or throw blankets over their backs, nnything to prevent or at least to lessen fright in an emergency This will take sorno little trouble, but it in amply repaid in that the horse when old enough to work is thoroughly reliable. It also.* develops the muscles more completely and makes a hotter horso in every way.— Orange Judel Farmer. IIP GETTING RID OF HAGWEED. Bagweed is ono of tho worst posts in nil grain growing districts. Wherovcr grain is sown it come upin springwith clover, and before frost destroys it tho weed has a ripened crop to seed tho land for future years. 5lauy farmers think this docs not matter, us tho rag weed will not appoar except in baro places among the clover, or where tho soil has been poochod by trampling on it through fall and spring. Apparent ly the soil must bo stirred in spring in order to germinate tho ragweed seed. But this fall seeding in grain Btubblo leaves weed seod in the ground to re appear in hoed or grain crops when ever the land is plowed. It is true those weeds can bo kojit down by con tinuous cultivation; but their value as green manuro is not ns great as tho moisture aud fertility they extract. What thoy take is soluble plant food. What they restore has to be made sol uble b y fermentation. Bagweed is not like clover and leguminous plantB. If it were it might be rognrded with more favor. It is, worthless or worse for feeding purposes and costs more than it comes to as mauuro. Two or three years of cutting rag weed and clover in August after grain seeding will wholly rid tho laud of this post. We know fnrinei'B who, by very early and heavy seeding of clover and dressing it with plaster in curly spring, have smothered the rag weed tho first season co that scarcely a singlo plant per aero perfected seed. Bag weed perishes under a strong growth of clover leaves. With heavy Booding, and especially sowing the largo variety of clover, tho land may bo kept clear of rag weed. Of course, during tho years in hood crops, caro should be taken not to lot any go t o seed. Stray plants' have a habit of hiding in corn or i^otnto hills aud thoro growing where the cultivator; F Alt SI AND GAIeDEN KOTFJ. Old hons oftan fail to become good mothers. After ten months a rooster is past his best ns a table fowl. It requires about threo months for a hen to got rid of her old feathers and put on a new dress. The pullets obtaineil from crossing Drahmas with Brown Leghorns are said to be excellent layers. The young trees sot out last spring are not the only ones which require attention The old ones should be 1'jokeel after ns we 'll. The locality may havo a grent deil to do in successful fruit growincr, but in tho majority of failures it is not due to this but to the grower himself A rjood plan of excluding the borei or grub from the pench tree is to bank the enrth around the tree base a foot or moro high. It is sanl to bo quite effective. Budded applo trees will Jivo as Ion' as root grafted ones, if the stocks upon which they are worked are as hardy as tho variety of bud used, ami so nearly allied in kind as to form 11 perfect union. Mr Hale, tho pencil specialist, say; that ho would prosecute any 0110 win spread stisfolc manure among his tree free. They don't want nitrogen. I forces a late growth of wood that can not resist sovero winters. Experiments condttctoel under the ausjjices of tho Delaware Experiment Station, with a view of discovering c remedy for peach rot, have mnde plain that a principal source of infection ex ists in the decayed fruit that is left on the trees after harvest. After harvest is a good tirao to mow tho brush from tho pastures which nre covered with hazel bushos, etc., too thickly to produeo much grass. They will sprout up strong ogain, but stock, anel especially sheep, like the young shoots and will keep them 'eaten oil close. Do not fail t o destroy jimson, bur dock, cotton and other noxious weeds which so often como up in tho feed yard along tho fences and even near the house. Now is the time to do this, as they will soon rijieu their seed, which will bring a g jat inoreaso an other year. Growing crops which aro continu ally shipped off tho farm soon impov erish the soil. Skimming land has been tho pioneer practice of tho West since an oarly day and it is only after much of tho virgin fertility is ex hausted that bettor mothods aro nec essarily considered. Do not stack straw carelessly so that it will rot. Tt does not contain very much nutritivo matter, it is true, but it is worth saving, us it takes but little moro trouble to stack it well than poorly. It will make good bedding, and much will bo oaten if it is where stock can have aecoss to it. You can 1-id your poultry honso of lice, but tho work of keeping them out must bo continued. As soon as you stop fighting thorn they return. Sat urate the roosts with kerosono aud sprinkle the place with it. Then re. move tho droppings and keep tho no3ts clean. Eternal vigilanco is necessary here as in almost every other depart ment. A Now York quinco grower, who has been much troubled by borers among MB bushes, olaims to havo stopped thorn by washing tho trees with two gallons of \vater in which was ono gal lon of soft soap, and whon tho suds was boiling he addod one gill of car bolic acid. This he applied with a rag in Hay, and renewed whenover washed off by rains. Frozen Fog. In Bome parts of Nevada tho suddon lowering of the tcmporatnro causes the moisture about tho mountain tope to form into ico in slender spines, like flue needles.

An exclusion from Birmingham to Montgomery was run the other day, says the Birmingham (Alu.) Age- Herald. A negro man appeired at the ticket otllce in the depot and purchased a ticket for h.msolf. Then he said to the ti kef agent: \Lto-s 1 want 'nothor round trip 'scursion ticket for a corpse.\ The agent opened hlsc^cs in as tonishment. An exclusion ticket for a corpse was something new to him, even with his varied experience. The negro explained: \You see, boss, my brudder died yesterday and I want ter take de corpse down to Montgomery and let de fambly view de 'mains, and den bring 'cm back to Birmingham and bury 'em. Lis will be a heap cheaper den fur de fambly to cum tip here.\ The lucut saw at once that this was a great stroke of economy and enteipil-e on the part of the negro There were probably a dozen uic u- bers of the family, and tickets f r them to l.irmirighani and board whll J there wo ild be quite expensive T l u corpse could got the benellt of excur sion rates to Montgomery and would pay no board while there.
